The SF bay and Santa Cruz are on the south end of the effected area. On past occasions like this, waves have washed over low beaches and lagoons, but not come remotely close to overtopping the coastal terrace cliffs.

#8How do Tsunami Warnings work?
For a Midwesterner a Tornado Warning requires someone to see it, or be be detected by radar. It's usually a good indicator that it is highly likely that the tornado exists and it is actively doing its thing somewhere. Warnings are pretty specific and almost always involve the thing happening.
Tsunami though, would it have to exist as far as seeing it on the coast, or is this more of a "conditions are ripe" kind of event?
I wonder if the Tsunami situation with all the under water variables is a lot more unknown?
